ESTATE PLANNING Flat fee. Call to receive a free outline of the items needed to start your Trust. 415-397-1515 or 310-488-5310. To avoid probate in California it is essential that you have a California revocable trust (a living trust). Although financial and retirement accounts can name designated beneficiaries and avoid a California probate filing, if you own real property and/or have interests in an LLC or corporation your estate may be subject to probate upon your death. Setting up a revocable living trust is simple and not time consuming. A trust is significantly less expensive than a probate. Probate fees are set by California statute on the gross value of the assets (eg, a $1 million home is $23,000 in legal fees before court costs).

PROBATE We can file a California probate to name you as administrator (no Will) or executor (Will) of a decedent estate. We prepare and file all required court documents and petition for distribution to the beneficiaries. You are also entitled to a fee. 415-397-1515 OR 310-488-5310

TRUST ADMINISTRATION If you are a successor trustee of a decedent’s trust we advise you regarding your fiduciary duties including Trust accounting to beneficiaries, statutory notices, Trust distributions and required Trust tax filings. We can assist in marshalling the Trust assets. If there are beneficiary claims or litigation against you as trustee we can represent you as trustee of the Trust estate. 415-397-1515
